Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To investigate the safety and feasibility of treating postoperative hyperglycemia in patients with no history of diabetes after acute abdominal surgery. ;Secondary Objective: described above;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is percentage of time in range (time with blood glucose level between 3.9 and 7.8mmol/l);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Study medication must be started within 48 hours after surgery. The endpoint is monitored for 10 days after starting the medication or until discharged, whichever comes first. | — |

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): 1) variability of blood glucose, mean blood glucose and time with hyper/hypo glycemia 2) quality of recovery-15 questionnaire 3) immunological changes (stress response) after surgery;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1) monitored for 10 days after starting the medication or until discharged, whichever comes first. 2) every day while hospitalised up til 10 days of treatment 3) blood samples drawn at inclusion, on day four of treatment and when finishing treatment | — |
